Hiking through (literally) the overflowing Silvertip river at the base of the falls.
Us clinging on dearly beside the banks of the Silvertip Falls.

This is a portrait of pain. We just finished the first leg of the hike, a 5 km uphill section that almost did me (us) in. Drenched in sweat, filled with pain, needing food and water...we trudged on with thoughts of a high alpine-esque lake ahead.
After the uphill slog in the 450 000 degree heat, we made it to the lake, dipped our melting bodies in the frigid waters and drank in the view. Worth every step to sleep by these shores, and there were quite a few of them to get here!
Posing for a victory picture as the day fades away and we settle into a well deserved sleep...or was this taken the following morning.....by the look of the sun I would say it was the morning. Not too sure....fading memory. Behind us is Philip Lake, further on in the distance is the ridge leading up to Table Mountain (the peak itself not visible from our camp). 
Me making dinner the first night with what little energy remained after the slog uphill...I swear it was a 90 degree slope the whole way! Probably not....but it might as well have been the way we felt at this point of the day.
Should I go for a swim?!?
Lunch break on the ridge of Table Mountain, overlooking the lakes below. 
Hiking along the snowy ridge of Table Mountain in the steaming heat of the noon day sun. In the distance is Tropy Mountainn, which we hiked up to see the meadow flowers...well, we didnt hike "up" it necessarily. We hiked as far as our feet could take us without snowshoes! 
Crystal at the edge of Helmcken Falls, with the ~140 metre cliff a step away! This was the day after the return from Philip Lake.
Thats me, the human looking things in the foreground. Helmcken Falls in the background....the watery looking thing.
Clearwater River at sunset.... 
Helmcken Falls, towering in at ~143 metres over aged lava. Bee You Tea Full. This is from the visitors platform, but we were also able to hike in (8 km round) to the other side and get a view from along the rim that you see to the right of the falls....which is where crystals picture (above) was taken.
I snuck this in out of order! This was the day before when we tried to hike the Raven Lake trail but were turned around right at the trailhead by knee deep snow. As you can see the weather was fine, the heat almost unbearable, but the north facing slope and the elevation of the trailhead itself gave us a wintery reminder. So, we took an about face and climbed the adjacent south facing slope with dry soil and mossy trees. It was quite beautiful. As we have come to expect from the BC outback.
Us at the top of the Tacheeda Lake lookout - set up as a forest fire lookout in the earlier days and I believe still used randomly. It is a beautiful view, regardless!
Us pausing after the arduous push to the peak (with me flaunting a sweat drenched back!).
The Tacheeda Lake lookout.
Just before the trailhead we were forced to leave our car and continue on foot. The trail started about 1-2 km ahead, which gave us a nice opportunity to skirt around the lake on the left in the picture and gather ourselves before the hike up, up, up....
Thats it for this one.
